It looks ...Kitty--the coat turned out wonderfully! It looks to me like you've taken some of the fullness out of it, but perhaps that happened naturally when you simply shortened it. Did you make a foldable cuff when you added to the length? The color is wonderful, although purple is always difficult to photograph--at least for me. I can never get the color to look as true in the photos as in real life.<br><br>Where is Emmy Lou's? Emporia? My husband I drove to Topeka and Lawrence to thrift this past weekend. I really like MajR Thrift in Topeka, where I find lots of upscale women's items. But I'm always on the look out for a new thrift.Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13659827749871377814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930627969477481275.post-60454511081063991002011-01-04T16:58:47.158-06:002011-01-04T16:58:47.158-06:00Oops - its Ellie Lou's in downtown Emporia acr...Oops - its Ellie Lou's in downtown Emporia across the street from the courthouse. She specializes in buttons, old patterns and fabrics. Also some housewares, books and linens. She's not open very many hours a week: 10-3 on Tues,Wed and Sat. 10-5 on Thurs and Fri. Last time I was there she said she has a booth in a big Flea Market in Salina too. <br><br>Thanks for the tip on MajR in Topeka. I have only been to Goodwill next to Fairlawn Plaza. A new place I found recently is in downtown Lyndon - LOTS of childrens items and teen clothes. The womens clothing selection is smaller but nice.Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15035368882833228494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930627969477481275.post-14320718947152623372011-01-08T18:57:07.738-06:002011-01-08T18:57:07.738-06:00Kitty--I think we've browsed the one in Lyndon...Kitty--I think we've browsed the one in Lyndon! Don't recall that I bought anything as DH was worn out from my thrifting. He likes to thrift too, though. Maybe Beto Junction is the place to meet.Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13659827749871377814noreply@blogger.com
